Includes any medium such as skills, abilities, spells, jobs, etc.). Further, the game medium is electronic data that can be acquired, owned, used, managed, exchanged, synthesized, strengthened, sold, discarded, or donated by the user in the game. It is not limited to what is specified.

Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the "game medium owned by the user" refers to a game medium associated with a user ID that can uniquely identify the user. Further, "giving the game medium to the user" means that the game medium is associated with the user ID. Further, "discarding the game medium owned by the user" means canceling the association between the user ID and the game medium. Further, "consuming the game medium owned by the user" means that some effect or influence can be exerted in the game depending on the cancellation of the association between the user ID and the game medium. Further, "selling the game medium owned by the user" means to eliminate the association between the user ID and the game medium and to associate the user ID with another game medium (for example, virtual currency or item). Is shown. Further, "transferring the game medium owned by the user A to the user B" means that the association between the user ID of the user A and the game medium is canceled and the game medium is associated with the user ID of the user B. Is shown. Further, "creating a game medium" means defining or determining at least a part of information about the game medium.

The game part may include any content that the user can play in the game. For example, game parts include quests, missions, mini-games, acquisition, training, enhancement, and synthesis of game media, exploration of virtual space, and opponents (eg, other users, enemy characters, and enemy buildings, etc.). It may include contents such as battles of. One or more predetermined game tasks may be set for each game part. When it is determined that one or more game tasks set in the game part played by the user have been successfully achieved, for example, a game medium or the like may be given to the user as a reward. The game tasks include, for example, a task of winning a battle with an enemy character, a task of reaching a goal point in a virtual space, and a predetermined state of the user's character until a predetermined time elapses (for example, soundness described later). Any task can be adopted according to the content of the game part, such as the task that the value does not reach zero). Further, the achievement of a specific game task (clear task) among one or more game tasks set in the game part is also referred to as clearing the game part. If the user who plays the game part succeeds in achieving the clear task, it is determined that the game part is cleared, and the game part may be terminated.

The one or more game parts may include a single-player game part and a multiplayer game part. The game part for single play may include, for example, a game part (for example, a game part for one person) executed based on a user operation on one terminal device 20 used by one user. For example, one terminal device 20 alone or one terminal device 20 and a server device 10 cooperate to execute a game part for single play. On the other hand, the game part for multiplayer is, for example, a game part common to the two or more users, which is executed based on a user operation on two or more terminal devices 20 used by the two or more users (for example). , A game part for multiple players) may be included. A game part common to two or more users is, for example, a game part in which at least a part of the progress processing of the game part and at least a part of the processing result are applied to the two or more users in common.

One game part may support both single player and multiplayer.

The game according to the present embodiment includes a game part that associates the first game medium owned by the user in the game with the second game medium. A predetermined game effect is set in the first game medium. As will be described later, when the first game medium is associated with the second game medium, the state of the game effect of the first game medium is switched from the first state to the second state. In the present embodiment, when the game effect is in the first state, the exertion of the game effect is prohibited. On the other hand, when the game effect is in the second state, the game effect is allowed to be exerted. The game effect of the second state may be exerted at any timing. For example, the game effect may be exerted when the second state is reached, or may be exerted in response to the occurrence of an arbitrary event in the second state.

The content of the game effect may be arbitrarily determined. For example, there may be a game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous or unfavorable situation in the game. The game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation in the game is, for example, in a configuration in which a predetermined reward (for example, a game medium) is given to a user who logs in to the game system as a so-called login bonus. It may include game effects that improve or grant additional rewards. Further, for example, a game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation in the game may include a game effect that increases the maximum number of game media that the user can own in the game. Further, for example, a game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation in the game is a game effect that improves the game parameters of a predetermined game medium that the user owns in the game (for example, a game effect that increases the attack power of a character). May include. Also, for example, a game effect that brings a user closer to a favorable situation in the game is required for the user's resources (for example, the virtual currency required for purchasing an item, and the execution of a quest) required for executing a predetermined event in the game. It may include a game effect that reduces the consumption of (a predetermined point of the user, etc.). On the other hand, the game effect that brings the user closer to a disadvantageous situation in the game may include, for example, a game effect that has an opposite effect to the game effect that brings the user closer to an advantageous situation as described above.

In this way, the user can exert a desired game effect in the game by associating the first game medium with the second game medium in the above-mentioned game part. According to such a configuration, it is possible to give the user a motivation to strategically consider which first game medium to exert the game effect.

For example, the information about the third game medium includes the third game medium ID and the game parameters. The game parameter is used for processing a game part (for example, a battle game part between the third game medium and an opponent) performed using the third game medium. The game parameters may be arbitrarily determined according to the content of the game part. For example, if the game part is a competitive game part, the game parameters may include level, soundness, and attack power. In the information about the third game medium, the level, soundness, and attack power are attached to the third game medium ID.

The level is information indicating the degree of growth of the third game medium. For example, the larger the level value, the greater the growth rate of the third game medium. In the present embodiment, the level value may be increased according to the game play by the user who owns the third game medium.

The soundness is a parameter indicating the degree of deterioration of the third game medium. The soundness of the third game medium can be reduced, for example, in a game part in which the third game medium is played against another game medium that is an opponent, when the third game medium is attacked by the opponent. When the soundness decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), an arbitrary process that is disadvantageous in the game is executed on the game medium. The processing includes, for example, a process of temporarily prohibiting the execution of an action by the third game medium, a process of temporarily erasing the third game medium from the virtual space, a process of changing the game parameters of the third game medium, and the like. May include. Therefore, the higher the soundness of the third game medium, the more advantageous it is to the user. The health may increase as the level increases.

The attack power is a parameter used to determine the amount of damage to the opponent by the attack of the third game medium. The greater the attack power value, the greater the amount of damage done to the opponent. The amount of damage reduces the health of the opponent. Therefore, the greater the attack power of the third game medium, the more advantageous it is to the user. The attack power may increase as the level increases.

The information regarding the first to third game media is not limited to the above-mentioned example.

Here, a configuration will be described in which the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 each execute the same process, and the server device 10 compares the processing result of the server device 10 with the processing result of the terminal device 20. For the sake of simplicity, the operation of the terminal device 20 will be described, and the operation of the server device 10 that executes the same processing as the terminal device 20 will be omitted.

Here, as described above, the game part in which the first game medium owned by the user in the game is associated with the second game medium will be specifically described. First, the operation of the terminal device 20 that executes the game part in a state where none of the first game media is associated with the second game medium will be described.

The terminal control unit 25 stores the information acquired from the server device 10 in the terminal storage unit 22. The information may include, for example, information on a plurality of first game media owned by the user in the game and information on the second game medium.

The terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display a screen on which a plurality of first game media can be selected. A specific example of the screen will be described later. The terminal control unit 25 selects one or more first game media from the plurality of first game media within the range in which the first condition is satisfied, according to the user operation on the screen. The first condition is used when none of the first game media is associated with the second game medium. The first condition may include one or more arbitrary conditions. A plurality of conditions included in the first condition may be treated as, for example, a logical product. In such a case, if all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied. Alternatively, the plurality of conditions included in the first condition may be treated as, for example, a logical sum. In such a case, if any one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied, it is determined that the first condition is satisfied.

The first condition will be specifically described. The first condition may include a condition that the total value of the cost points of each first game medium selected based on the user operation on the screen is equal to or less than the first threshold value of the second game medium. For example, when the first threshold value is 100 points, the terminal control unit 25 determines one or more first game media within a range in which the total value of the cost points of each selected first game medium is 100 points or less. May be selected.

Further, for example, the first condition may include a condition that the number of the first game media selected via the screen described above is equal to or less than the second threshold value of the second game medium. For example, when the second threshold value is 6 points, the terminal control unit 25 may select one or more first game media within a range in which the number of selected first game media is 6 or less. good.

When the terminal control unit 25 detects, for example, a predetermined user operation in a state where one or more first game media are selected within the range satisfying the first condition, the terminal control unit 25 uses the one or more first game media as the second game medium. Associate with the game medium. When the first game medium is associated with the second game medium, the terminal control unit 25 switches the state of the game effect set in the first game medium from the first state to the second state.

Here, when the game effect is set for a combination of two or more predetermined first game media, the terminal control unit 25 associates the two or more first game media related to the combination with the second game medium. If so, the state of the game effect set in the combination is switched from the first state to the second state.

The terminal control unit 25 may update (correct) the game effect of the second state based on the grade of the second game medium. For example, the higher the grade of the second game medium, the better the game effect of the second state may be. Then, the terminal control unit 25 ends the game part.

The terminal control unit 25 may cancel the association between the first game medium and the second game medium, for example, depending on the consumption of a predetermined game medium (for example, an item). In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 may switch the state of the game effect set in the first game medium from the second state to the first state. The terminal control unit 25 maintains the association between the first game medium and the second game medium according to, for example, consumption of a predetermined game medium (for example, an item), and the game effect set in the first game medium. The state of may be switched between the first state and the second state. According to such a configuration, the user can manage the state of the effect set in the game medium according to, for example, the progress of the game. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved.

Next, the operation of the terminal device 20 that executes the above-mentioned game part in a state where at least one first game medium is already associated with the second game medium will be described. This state can occur, for example, when the above-mentioned game part is executed from the second time onward.

In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display a screen on which a plurality of first game media other than the first game medium already associated with the second game medium can be selected. The terminal control unit 25 responds to the user's operation on the screen by setting 1 from among a plurality of first game media excluding the first game medium already associated with the second game medium, within a range in which the second condition is satisfied. Select one or more first game media. The second condition may include one or more arbitrary conditions. The plurality of conditions included in the second condition may be treated as, for example, a logical product. In such a case, if all of the plurality of conditions are satisfied, it is determined that the second condition is satisfied. Alternatively, the plurality of conditions included in the second condition may be treated as, for example, a logical sum. In such a case, if any one of the plurality of conditions is satisfied, it is determined that the second condition is satisfied.

The second condition will be specifically described. The second condition is that the total value of the cost points of each first game medium selected based on the user operation on the screen and the cost points of each first game medium associated with the second game medium is set. It may include the condition that it is equal to or less than the first threshold value of the second game medium. For example, when the first threshold value is 100 points and the cost point of each first game medium already associated with the second game medium is 30 points, the terminal control unit 25 selects each first game medium. One or more first game media may be selected within a range in which the total cost points of the game media are 100-30 = 70 points or less.

When the terminal control unit 25 detects, for example, a predetermined user operation in a state where one or more first game media are selected within the range satisfying the second condition, the terminal control unit 25 uses the one or more first game media as the second game medium. Associate with the game medium. When the first game medium is associated with the second game medium, the terminal control unit 25 switches the state of the game effect set in the first game medium from the first state to the second state.

Here, when the game effect is set for a combination of two or more predetermined first game media, the terminal control unit 25 associates the two or more first game media related to the combination with the second game medium. If so, the state of the game effect set in the combination is switched from the first state to the second state.

The terminal control unit 25 may update (correct) the game effect of the second state based on the grade of the second game medium. For example, the higher the grade of the second game medium, the better the game effect of the second state may be. Then, the terminal control unit 25 ends the game part.

(Exercise of game effect and deadline)
The terminal control unit 25 exerts the game effect in the second state in the above-mentioned game part, for example, in response to a predetermined event.

The terminal control unit 25 updates the game effect in the second state based on the passage of time. Specifically, the terminal control unit 25 may determine whether or not the above-mentioned expiration date corresponding to the game effect has expired. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may determine that the expiration date has expired when the elapsed time from the timing when the game effect is in the second state reaches the threshold value indicated by the expiration date. In such a configuration, the terminal control unit 25 measures the elapsed time when the game effect is in the second state, and when the game effect changes from the second state to the first state, or the game effect is set. When the association between the first game medium and the second game medium is broken, the measurement of the elapsed time may be interrupted. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 may determine that the expiration date has expired when the current date and time reaches the date and time indicated in the date and time information included in the deadline. In such a configuration, when the game effect changes from the second state to the first state, or when the association between the first game medium in which the game effect is set and the second game medium is canceled, the terminal control unit 25 determines. The date and time shown in the date and time information included in the deadline may be extended according to the passage of time. When it is determined that the expiration date has expired, the terminal control unit 25 may switch the state of the game effect from the second state to the first state, and the first game medium and the second game medium corresponding to the game effect The association between the first game medium and the user may be canceled. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 may suppress the game effect of the second state according to the passage of time. For example, when the game effect that increases the attack power of the third game medium by 10 points becomes the second state, the amount of increase in the attack power gradually decreases from 10 points with the passage of time, and corresponds to the game effect. It may reach 0 points when the expiration date expires.

(Sending and receiving set information)
The terminal control unit 25 may transmit set information indicating all the first game media associated with the second game medium to the server device 10. Specifically, the set information may include all the first game medium IDs associated with the second game medium ID in the information about the second game medium.

The terminal control unit 25 receives from the server device 10 one or more set information transmitted to the server device 10 from one or more other information processing devices used by one or more other users. .. The terminal control unit 25 causes the display unit 23 to display the one or more set information in a selectable manner. The terminal control unit 25 selects one set information from the one or more set information based on, for example, a user operation. The terminal control unit 25 is one or more first game media corresponding to one or more other first game media shown in the one set information among the plurality of first game media associated with the user. Is associated with the second game medium. Here, the corresponding first game medium includes, for example, a first game medium in which at least a part (for example, a name or an image) is the same as the other first game medium shown in the set information.

Here, a case where the first game medium corresponding to at least one other first game medium shown in the set information is not associated with the user will be described. In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 uses one or more first game media corresponding to each of the one or more other first game media shown in the set information, except for the at least one other first game medium. , May be associated with a second game medium. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 makes the above association only when one or more first game media corresponding to all the other first game media shown in the set information are associated with the user. May be good. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 may display information on the game part that can associate the first game medium that is not associated with the user with the user on the display unit 23. The information about the game part may include, for example, a GUI that accepts a user operation to start the game part. In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 may start the game part that can associate the first game medium that is not associated with the user with the user in response to the user operation.

Further, a case where the total value of the cost points of all the other first game media shown in the set information exceeds the first threshold value of the user's second game medium will be described. In such a case, the terminal control unit 25 performs all the values shown in the set information within a range in which the total value of the cost points of each of the other selected first game media is equal to or less than the first threshold value of the user's second game medium. One or more other first game media may be selected from the other first game media. The terminal control unit 25 may associate one or more first game media corresponding to each of the selected one or more first game media with the second game medium. Here, the terminal control unit 25 may automatically select one or more other first game media based on a predetermined priority among all the other first game media shown in the set information. .. For example, the higher the cost point of the first game medium, the higher or lower the priority may be. Further, for example, the more effective the game effect set in the first game medium (for example, in the case of a game effect that increases the attack power of the third game medium, the larger the amount of increase in the attack power), the higher the priority. The degree may be high or low. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 25 associates one or more first game media corresponding to all the other first game media shown in the set information with the second game medium, while being associated with the second game medium. The state of the game effect set in each of the first game media may be left as the first state until the total value of the cost points of each first game medium becomes equal to or less than the first threshold value of the second game medium.

According to the above-described configuration using the set information, the first game medium associated with the user's second game medium can be collectively set based on the first game medium associated with the second game medium of the other user. be. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved because the complexity of the user operation of associating the first game medium with the second game medium is reduced. In addition, since it is possible to give the user a motivation to search for another user who has set a desired combination of the first game media, the interaction between the user and the other user is activated.
Further, as described above, when the first game medium corresponding to at least one other first game medium shown in the set information is not associated with the user, or all the other first game media shown in the set information. Even when the total value of the cost points of the game medium exceeds the first threshold value, the user can associate the first game medium with the second game medium without being aware of these cases. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved.

(Game screen)
A screen displayed on the display unit 23 of the terminal device 20 during the execution of the game part described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. The second game medium 40, the first game medium selection area 50, and the confirmation button 60 may be displayed on the screen. The appearance of the second game medium 40 on the screen may change depending on the grade of the second game medium 40. For example, the higher the grade, the larger the second game medium 40 may be.

The second game medium 40 is provided with an information display area 41 and one or more arrangement areas 42. In the information display area 41, the total value of the cost points of each of the selected first game media and the first threshold value of the second game medium 40 are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 6, none of the first game media is selected. Therefore, the total value of cost points is 0 points. The arrangement area 42 functions as a GUI (Graphic User Interface) for detecting a part of the user operation for selecting the first game medium. The user operation will be described later. The number of arrangement areas 42 is equal to the second threshold set in the second game medium 40. In the example shown in FIG. 6, six arrangement areas 42 (42a-42f) are provided on the second game medium 40 on the screen.

In the first game medium selection area 50, the first game medium 51 owned by the user in the game is displayed. In FIG. 6, four first game media 51 (51a-51d) are displayed. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may scroll the display contents of the first game medium selection area 50 in response to a user operation to display the fifth and subsequent other first game media 51. The name (AD) and cost points of the first game medium 51 may be displayed on the first game medium 51 on the screen. Further, the deadline (or period) of the first game medium 51 may be displayed on the first game medium 51. The first game medium 51 on the screen, together with the above-mentioned arrangement area 42, functions as a GUI that accepts a user operation for selecting the first game medium 51. For example, the terminal control unit 25 associates the first game medium 51a with the placement area 42a and selects the first game medium 51a in response to a user operation of dragging the first game medium 51a to place the first game medium 51a in the placement area 42a. .. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the selected first game medium 51a may be arranged in the arrangement area 42a. When the first game medium 51a is arranged in the arrangement area 42, even if the first game medium 51a in the first game medium selection area 50 is displayed in a display mode different from the usual one (for example, grayed out). good.

For example, when the game effect is set for the combination of the first game media 51a and 51b as described above, the terminal control unit 25 uses a part of the two first game media 51a and 51b related to the combination. When the first game medium 51 (for example, the first game medium 51a) is selected, in the first game medium selection area 50, the remaining first game of the two first game media 51a and 51b related to the combination is selected. The display mode of the medium 51 (for example, the first game medium 51b) is changed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the border of the first game medium 51b is doubled.

Further, for example, the terminal control unit 25 may change the display mode of the first game medium 51 in which the total value of the cost points exceeds the first threshold value when selected on the above screen. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the cost point of the selected first game medium 51a is 80 points. Here, the cost point of the first game medium 51d is 30 points. Therefore, when the first game medium 51d is further selected, the total value of cost points (110 points) exceeds the first threshold value (100 points). Therefore, when the first game medium 51a is selected as described above, the terminal control unit 25 may display the first game medium 51d in a display mode different from the usual one (for example, grayed out).

The confirmation button 60 is a GUI that accepts a user operation that associates one or more selected first game media 51 with the second game medium 40 within a range satisfying the first condition (or the second condition). When the terminal control unit 25 detects a user operation on the confirmation button 60, the terminal control unit 25 associates one or more selected first game media 51 with the second game medium 40. The terminal control unit 25 switches the game effect set in each of the one or more first game media 51 from the first state to the second state. As described above, when the expiration date of the game effect includes a threshold value used for comparison with the elapsed time from the timing when the game effect is in the second state, the terminal control unit 25 sets the game effect from the first state to the first state. The measurement of the elapsed time from the timing of switching to the two states may be started.

Step S200: The terminal control unit 25 determines whether or not the expiration date corresponding to the game effect in the second state has expired. If it is determined that the expiration date has expired (step S200-Yes), the process proceeds to step S201. On the other hand, if it is determined that the expiration date has not expired (step S200-No), the process repeats step S200.

Step S201: The terminal control unit 25 updates the game effect in the second state. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may switch the state of the game effect from the second state to the first state.

(Third operation example of the terminal device)
An example of the third operation of the terminal device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The operation includes the operation of the terminal device 20 that updates the game effect of the second state based on the passage of time.

Step S300: The terminal control unit 25 sends one or more set information transmitted to the server device 10 from one or more other information processing devices used by one or more other users, respectively, to the server device 10. Is received from, and each is displayed on the display unit 23 so as to be selectable.

Step S301: The terminal control unit 25 selects one set information from the one or more set information based on, for example, a user operation.

Step S302: The terminal control unit 25 associates one or more first game media corresponding to one or more other first game media shown in the one set information with the second game medium.

As described above, the terminal device 20 according to the present embodiment selects one or more first game media from the plurality of first game media within the range in which the first condition is satisfied. The terminal device 20 associates the selected one or more first game media with the second game medium. When the first game medium is associated with the second game medium, the terminal device 20 switches the state of the game effect set in the first game medium from the first state to the second state. Then, the terminal device 20 updates the game effect of the second state based on the passage of time. According to such a configuration, it is possible to give the user a motivation to strategically consider which first game medium to exert the game effect. Therefore, the strategic nature of the game is expanded.

Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and modifications are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. ..

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal device 20 may execute a part or all of the operations and processes executed by the server device 10. Similarly, the server device 10 may execute a part of the operations executed by the terminal device 20. For example, processing such as display control of various screens displayed on the terminal device 20 and control of various GUIs may be executed by either the server device 10 or the terminal device 20, and the server device 10 and the terminal device 20 may execute the processes. It may be carried out in collaboration. Alternatively, the game system 1 does not have to include the server device 10. In such a case, the terminal device 20 may store in advance the information received from the server device 10 in the above-described embodiment.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example of the operation of the terminal device 20 has been described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. However, some steps included in the operation or some operations included in one step may be omitted. The order of a plurality of steps may be changed within a range that is logically consistent.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration in which one second game medium is associated with each user has been described. However, it is possible to configure a plurality of second game media to be associated with one user. Further, for example, one second game medium may be associated with a plurality of users. In such a case, the game effect of the second state of the first game medium associated with the second game medium may be exerted on at least a part of the plurality of users. According to such a configuration, it is possible to generate a game effect according to the requests of a plurality of users. Therefore, the usability of the game is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the user owns another first game medium B that is the same as or similar to a certain first game medium A associated with the second game medium, the terminal control unit 25 may: The game effect set in the first game medium A may be updated by consuming the first game medium B. According to such a configuration, it is possible to combine game media that are the same as or similar to each other, so that the strategic nature of the game is expanded. Further, since various game effects can be set according to the combination of the first game media, it is compared with a configuration in which information on various first game media in which such various game effects are set is stored in advance. Therefore, the amount of data to be stored can be reduced.
Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

First, the similarity between the two first game media will be described. When the attributes of the game effect of the first game medium A and the attributes of the game effect of the first game medium B match at least in part, the terminal control unit 25 is the first game medium in which they are similar. May be determined. Here, the game effect of the first game medium A is "increase the attack power of the third game medium by 10 points", and the game effect of the first game medium B is "increase the attack power of the third game medium by 5 points". An example is described. Both agree that they "increase the attack power of the third game medium". In such a case, the first game media A and B can be determined to be similar. However, the determination of the similarity between the two first game media is not limited to the above example, and any algorithm may be adopted. Alternatively, even if the information about the first game medium includes an attribute of the game effect set in the first game medium (for example, an attribute of "increasing the attack power of the third game medium") in advance. good. In such a case, if the attributes of the game effect of the first game medium A and the attributes of the game effect of the first game medium B match, the terminal control unit 25 determines that they are similar first game media. You may.

Next, the update of the game effect of the first game medium will be described. The terminal control unit 25 cancels the association between the first game medium B and the user (that is, consumes the first game medium B) and consumes the game of the first game medium in response to a predetermined user operation described later. At least one of the content of the effect and the deadline may be renewed. For example, the terminal control unit 25 may increase the amount of increase in the attack power increased by the game effect of the first game medium A. The terminal control unit 25 may increase the amount of increase in the attack power by an arbitrary algorithm. For example, a value (5α points) obtained by weighting the increase amount (5 points) due to the game effect of the first game medium B by a predetermined weighting coefficient α is added to the increase amount (10 points) due to the game effect of the first game medium A. You may. Here, the weighting coefficient α may be any value including 1. Alternatively, the weighting coefficient α is α = m / when the remaining time until the deadline of the game effect of the first game medium A is n and the remaining time until the deadline of the game effect of the first game medium B is m. It may be n. Further, for example, the terminal control unit 25 may extend the expiration date of the game effect of the first game medium A.

Here, in the predetermined user operation, for example, on the screen shown in FIG. 7, the first game medium 51b in the first game medium selection area 50 is set as the first game among the plurality of arrangement areas 42 of the second game medium 40. It may be a user operation of dragging to the upper left arrangement area 42a where the medium A is arranged. According to such a configuration, the game effect of the first game medium A is updated by an intuitive operation of superimposing the same or similar first game medium B on the first game medium A arranged in the arrangement area 42. .. Therefore, usability is improved.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a predetermined game effect may be set in the arrangement area set in the second game medium. For example, when the first game medium is associated with a certain arrangement area, even if a game effect for improving the game effect set in the first game medium by a predetermined value or a predetermined ratio is set in the arrangement area. good. The set game effect may differ depending on the arrangement area.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game effect set in the first game medium associated with the arrangement area changes according to the positional relationship between the arrangement areas associated with the first game medium. May be good. For example, the game effect set in the first game medium A in the arrangement area A may change based on the information about the first game medium B associated with the arrangement area B adjacent to the arrangement area A. For example, when the properties of the game effects set in the first game media A and B are the same or similar, the game effects set in the first game medium A bring the user closer to an advantageous or disadvantageous situation in the game. It may change as follows. Further, for example, as the number of other arrangement areas B adjacent to the arrangement area A and associated with the other first game medium increases, the game effect set in the first game medium A is more advantageous in the game for the user. Alternatively, it may be changed to be closer to the disadvantageous situation.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example of information regarding the first game medium and information regarding the second game medium has been described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. However, the content of this information is not limited to the above-mentioned example.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the information about the first game medium may further include attributes and shapes. The attribute may be, for example, information indicating the classification of the game effect based on the nature of the corresponding game effect. For example, the attribute of the game effect that improves the game parameter of the third game medium may be the first attribute that shows the property of improving the game parameter. Further, for example, the attribute of the game effect for improving or adding a reward such as a login bonus given to the user may be a second attribute showing the property of improving the reward given to the user. Not limited to the first attribute and the second attribute, three or more kinds of arbitrary attributes may exist. The shape is data indicating the shape of the first game medium. Each first game medium may have a different shape. The first game medium may have a two-dimensional shape or a three-dimensional shape. In such a configuration, the first game medium is arranged by arranging the first game medium, for example, like a puzzle piece, in the two-dimensional or three-dimensional arrangement area set in the second game medium as described later. Associated with the second game medium. The shape of the first game medium may be determined according to the characteristics of the first game medium (for example, game effects, cost points, attributes, etc.). For example, the larger the game effect or cost point, the larger or smaller the shape of the first game medium may be. For example, the first game medium may have a different shape depending on the magnitude or attribute of the game effect.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the information regarding the second game medium may further include attributes, an arrangement area, and arrangement information. The grade, the first threshold value, the second threshold value, the arrangement space, the first game medium ID, and the arrangement information may be included for each attribute. The attributes correspond to the attributes of the game effect described above. For example, in FIG. 12, the first attribute and the second attribute are illustrated. The arrangement area is information indicating a two-dimensional or three-dimensional area (space). The size and shape of the arrangement area may be arbitrarily determined. The arrangement information may include a game medium ID of each first game medium arranged in the corresponding arrangement area, and information indicating the position and orientation of the first game medium in the arrangement area.

In such a configuration, the screen displayed on the display unit 23 during the execution of the game part that associates the first game medium with the second game medium will be described with reference to FIG. The second game medium 40, the first game medium selection area 50, and the confirmation button 60 may be displayed on the screen, as in the above-described embodiment. However, the details of the information displayed in the second game medium 40 and the first game medium selection area 50 are different.

The second game medium 40 is provided with an information display area 41 and an arrangement area 44 in the attribute area 43 corresponding to one attribute. For example, in the example of FIG. 13, the information display area 41 and the arrangement area 44 corresponding to the first attribute are shown.

In the first game medium selection area 50, the first game medium 51 and the attribute tab 52 are displayed. The attribute tab 52 is provided corresponding to each attribute. In the example of FIG. 13, the attribute tab 52a corresponding to the first attribute and the attribute tab 52b corresponding to the second attribute are shown. The first game medium 51 having the same attributes as the selected attribute tab 52 is displayed in the first game medium selection area 50. In the example of FIG. 13, the attribute tab 52a corresponding to the first attribute is selected. When the terminal control unit 25 detects a user operation on the attribute tab 52, the terminal control unit 25 updates the display in the first game medium selection area 50 so that the first game medium 51 having the same attributes as the attribute tab 52 is displayed. .. When the selected attribute tab 52 is switched, the terminal control unit 25 may switch the attribute area 43 in the second game medium 40 in conjunction with each other. The four first game media 51a-51d shown in FIG. 13 have different shapes. For example, the terminal control unit 25 associates the first game medium 51a with the placement area 44 and selects the first game medium 51a in response to a user operation of dragging the first game medium 51a to place the first game medium 51a in the placement area 44. .. Similar to the above-described embodiment, the terminal control unit 25 selects one or more first game media 51 within a range in which, for example, the first condition is satisfied. Here, the first condition may further include a condition that the selected first game media 51 are arranged inside the arrangement area 44 without overlapping each other. According to such a configuration, in addition to the two elements of the first threshold value and the second threshold value set in the second game medium 40, the user can use the third element related to the arrangement of the first game medium 51 in the arrangement area 44. Need to consider. For this reason, the strategic nature of the game is expanded, and the interest of the game is improved.

According to the above-described configuration in which the information regarding the first game medium includes attributes, the user can manage the first game medium for each attribute of the set game effect, so that the complexity of the user operation is reduced. Improves game usability.
